WRITING WITH LIGHT: 4
THE MUSES
Storaro Art, in collaboration with Rizzoli, continues the publishing project
STORARO: WRITING WITH LIGHT with a fourth volume, titled THE MUSES.
The new book allows Vittorio Storaro, ASC, AIC, one of the great authors of cinematography, to continue exploring his very per-
sonal, philosophical and visual interpretations of the imaging universe. The idea of a book dedicated to the muses comes from
the desire to recognize these fascinating creative inspirations, which both Plato and Hesiod identified as sweet winged maid-
ens. In Greek tradition, these mythological beings represented the arts of their times: Epic Poetry, History, Lyric Poetry, Music,
Tragedy, Sacred Poetry, Dance and Chorus, and Comedy and Idyllic Poetry. In this book, Storaro gives the traditional muses his
own interpretation and presents his suggestion for a new muse of the imagination - Aurea -dedicated to Cinema, which feeds
off the inspirations provided by the other nine sisters.
WRITING WITH LIGHT, Storaro states, is not just a series of books, but a project reflecting the artistic life - a visionary ency-
clopedia with scholarly research detailing how philosophers, scientists, painters and artists all over the world have accessed the
mysteries of vision. Each book is a collection of philosophical thoughts, writings, paintings and photographic images - some
rendered as "double impressions." The contents represent the fruit of Storaro's 50 years as a self-taught professional, illustrat-
ing how he, an eternal student, has put these inspirations into practice.
The project allows Storaro to consciously express his personal perceptions of the
film imagery he has in collaboration with directors such as Bernardo Bertolucci,
Francis Ford Coppola, Warren Beatty, Carlos Saura and Woody Allen. Those films
have earned Storaro a long list of international awards, including three Academy
Awards for Best Cinematography, recognizing his work on the features APOCA-
LYPSE NOW, REDS and THE LAST EMPEROR.
The journey Storaro began with his trilogy of previous books in the series - THE
LIGHT, COLORS and THE ELEMENTS - continues with THE MUSES. Storaro plans
to complete a second trilogy with two more volumes: THE VISIONARIES and THE
PROPHETS.
THE MUSES has also given Storaro and DeSisti Lighting the inspiration to build
"The Muses of Lights" - a new series of LED lights used on Woody Allen's latest
film, RIFKIN'S FESTIVAL. The new lights were demonstrated at the 2019 Camer-
image Film Festival and shown to ASC and ICG members in New York.
